PageOrientation partially ignored?

[Tobias Oelgarte]

I created a minimal example to illustrate the issue. If I print with 
'orientation' set to PORTRAIT i get the expected result [1]. But if i 
print with 'orientation' set to LANDSCAPE, then i still get a page in 
portrait orientation and with mixed up margins [2]. Picture [3] 
illustrates what i would expect.

public class TestApp extends Application {

     private final PageOrientation orientation = PageOrientation.LANDSCAPE;
     
     @Override
     public void start(Stage stage) throws Exception {
         Button printButton = new Button("Print Example Page");
         Scene scene = new Scene(printButton);
         stage.setScene(scene);
         
         Rectangle rect = new Rectangle(0,0,null);
         rect.setStrokeType(StrokeType.INSIDE);
         rect.setStrokeWidth(4);
         rect.setStroke(Color.RED);
         
         Circle circle = new Circle(0, 0, 40, null);
         circle.setStrokeWidth(4);
         circle.setStroke(Color.BLUE);
         
         Group group = new Group(rect, circle);
         
         printButton.setOnAction(e -> {
             Printer printer = Printer.getDefaultPrinter();
             PrinterJob job = PrinterJob.createPrinterJob(printer);
             
             System.out.println(printer);
             System.out.println("Supports A4 paper: " + printer.getPrinterAttributes().getSupportedPapers().contains(Paper.A4));
             System.out.println("Supports Portrait: " + printer.getPrinterAttributes().getSupportedPageOrientations().contains(PageOrientation.PORTRAIT));
             System.out.println("Supports Landscape: " + printer.getPrinterAttributes().getSupportedPageOrientations().contains(PageOrientation.LANDSCAPE));
             
             PageLayout layout = printer.createPageLayout(Paper.A4, orientation, 160, 40, 20, 80);
             job.getJobSettings().setPageLayout(layout);
             layout = job.getJobSettings().getPageLayout();
             
             System.out.println(layout);
             
             rect.setWidth(layout.getPrintableWidth());
             rect.setHeight(layout.getPrintableHeight());
             
             boolean success = job.printPage(group);
             if (success) {
                 job.endJob();
             }
         });
         
         stage.show();
     }
     
     public static void main(String[] args) {
         Application.launch(TestApp.class, args);
     }
     
}
